I do what I can, when I can. The rest gets done by hubby and the kids.
I still take the ketotifen when I have a really bad reaction, loads of anti-histame stuff too. Hey, I found a website the other day that made me think of you, it's called the low histamine chef, maybe you would think it interesting...Allergies, Histamines and Using Food as Medicine
I figured I would rather spend my time creating a safe, happy place for my kids, than spinning my wheels in doc office after doc office, living in the city.
If I can do it, anyone can. :)
I had a lipoma removed from my back and somehow it got infected.
Had it out on a Wed afternoon and by the next Tues AM was in the ER with a BP of 57/46, and still conscious. They didn’t know why I was conscious, but they sure did move.
It hit FAST. If mr. mm had gone to work that morning before I woke up, I likely would have died from it.
With the ketotifen, do you take it as needed or all the time? I was on it but had some side effects that I decided weren’t worth it and went off. It does seem to help better than anything else though.
I also tried something called DAOsin that I got through Swanson supplements. It is diamine oxidase, which binds to free histamine in the body and helps relieve the symptoms of too much histamine. It really does pretty well, but is not cheap.
Right now I’m reacting some from something I ate yesterday and am about to take a prednisone (as suggested by my allergist) to see if it helps like he said it should. Then I’ll be hitting the sack.
Thanks for the link to the website. I’ll see if there’s anything I can use from it.
